Nit picking much, are we ?


HN Guidelines:

"If the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."

Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."

This is directly against the guidelines and how article titles should be submitted. Editorialization of titles is heavily discouraged and here it even says something the article doesn't. Not at all a nitpick imho.


The article could use significant figures better at least. No reason to not say 83% or even "at least 80%" (would be my pick, to reflect the roundness of the number).
